Harlow Bros I beam department offer a comprehensive design service. Once architectural drawings have been submitted we offer a design and consultation service which enable us to produce the most cost effective and sound floor solution for your specific needs.

On placement of order we will provide you with a full design layout which labels and gives the positioning of every item needed in the construction of the floor system. This will also include full calculations and information regarding any other product that is used within the Steico Floor system such as Decking and Ironmongery.

MANUFACTURE

Harlows imports STEICO I Beams directly from Europe.

STEICO UK Ltd Mission: Statement:

"To establish STEICO as the premier supplier to the UK of ecologically friendly construction and insulation products made from natural materials

To achieve this we will develop our people, establish lasting relationships with customers and partners, supply best in class quality, value and service while maintaining the strongest environmental principles”.

Harlow Bros purchase the joists in packs cut to pre cut lengths of up to 13.5 metres, then recut to the exact sizes required by the customer. They are then stacked together, banded and wrapped to form a complete kit, these are wrapped sufficiently to prevent any weather damage occurring. A second ancillary pack will be made up containing all the loose timbers to complete the job. All the ironmongery will be boxed and marked accordingly.

INSTALLATION

All our joists will arrive on site on Harlow Bros own transport, offloading facilities will be required on site due to safe working load restrictions. If this is not a possibility we do have a limited number of crane trucks, if these are needed please indicate as soon as possible to enable accurate planning.

The customer is responsible for off loading the vehicle of its contents and should make sure all safety procedures are followed and any air bags etc. are on site if needed.

On the drawing provided there a number of items marked to make the installation as simple as possible. All the weights are indicated per each beam type, all fixing details in the design have a 3D illustration marker on the drawing. Plus a safety bracing illustration is provided with each floor.

Please adhere to the drawing at all times, if a change to the design is needed please contact Harlows so we can check all calculations to ensure what you intend to do is correctly engineered.
